While Nick was attending Michelle, Splero and Chimpan continued with their planned duties along with Judy. As time goes on, an intimate relationship begins.

Shortly after issuing the decree to Nick, Splero went to see Judy at her cubicle. Just halfway to the hallway, his radio began to static loudly.

"Hello? Who's this speaking?"

A feeble voice echos out.

"Spler...It's me."

"Nick, is that you?"

"No, Sple...It's you're...rege...Chi...pa..."

Splero couldn't understand the incomplete radio sentence.

"Callsign, please say again. You're very weak."

A few seconds later, the reply came in a much more clearer tone."

"Emperi Splero, this is Regent Chimpan. Reporting in."

"Hey there, Chimpan. Does Nick arrived in the palace?"

"Yes, Spler. He just came here at the nick of time. I'm on route back to my cubicle there."

"Acknowledged. Out."

Splero hid away his radio before he continued to walk towards the hall. Upon arriving at Judy's cubicle, Splero saw her writing a piece of paper.

"Judy?"

"Oh! Hey, Splero."

"What are you doing in there?"

"Nothing. Just doodling with my pen and paper."

"I see."

"What brings you in here?"

"There's something I wanted to say with you, Judy."

"Is this about the 5 PM police exercise at Sahara Square?"

"No, Judy. It's about my consort."

"Your consort?"

Splero nodded.

"What? What happened to her?"

"She was ill for today, Judy."

Judy was surprised.

"You serious?!"

"Yes. Michelle was feeling with a flu or something. I wanted to help her but I can't do that right now due to that police exercise that we'll be performing later on."

"Neither do I, Splero. I was also assigned to perform in the police exercise as well."

"Really?"

"Yeah. The other cadets were like fans to me and they wanted to join in with the exercise so that they could focus more."

"I see."

"By the way, who will be looking a check on Michelle at the palace?"

"Oh, yes. About that, Judy."

"Hmm?"

"I asked Nick to take care not a few moments ago. He accepts my request and he was being cleared to do so."

"Cleared? By whom?"

"Me and Chief Bogo."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

Splero's radio started to crackle again.

"Excuse me, Judy. I should take this radio call."

"Ok. Take your time."

Splero turned around and he took the radio from his belt.

"This is Officer Splero reporting in."

"Splero, It's me. Clawhauser."

"Yes, Clawhauser?"

"Chimpan and I will be at the training grounds outside because there's something we need to assess there."

"Noted up. Thanks."

Splero breaks the radio contact. As he turned around to face Judy, he saw she carrying a document folder.

"I think I should be submitting these to Clawhauser as well."

"Ok, Judy."

Before Splero could even step out, Judy accidentally tripped. Splero grabbed her by the paws so that she couldn't continue on falling. The rabbit was surprised that her forehead rests on the Emperor's chest. Both she and Splero blushed from the awkward gesture.

"I'm sorry, Sire."

"Don't apologize, Judy. You didn't no harm but you should be careful on your footing next time."

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Off you go now. I'll see you later."

"Yep. See ya later!"

As Judy disappeared, Splero lean over to a wall. Placing his gloved hand on his chest, he continued on blushing.

"Man, that was so close!"
